Part 7/10:
By the five-year mark, this weight increase would reach 88 kg, with gravity becoming 25% stronger. In this state, our infrastructure would be collapsing—not due solely to increased weight but predominantly due to the ground expanding and distorting structures.
By the decade mark, an additional 50% increase in gravity would render significant portions of Earth virtually uninhabitable. The atmosphere would, theoretically, expand to accommodate these changes, raising surface air pressure. However, breathing would become laborious, and trees would collapse under their own weight.
